Caldwell's Potty Bells Original Dog Doorbell

Brilliant ideas! We hung these potty bells on the sliding glass door to the back yard. It took awhile for our dog to get the hang of the bells and figure out what they were for but once he did they work like a charm (no pun). They work for what they are intended to but our guy also uses them just for attention which can get a bit frustrating after the 4th time in a row. Lately, he will ring the bells and wait so when one of us opens the door for him, he turns around and walks away to play with his toy and doesn’t go out. So, they work great to get your attention for either potty or “I want attention” or maybe it’s more like “Ha, ha, made you get up!”. Our dog has a sense of humor. Needless Brilliant ideas!

This was purchased because I had a new door installed that has no doggie door. I have not been able to train my dog to jingle the bells. I've tried helping him jingle with his front paw and tried with his snout unsuccessfully. Thank goodness I am retired and at home most of the time. He communicates by standing next to the door. He lets me know when he wants back in by either barking, a gentle scratch to the door, and if not in a hurry, he just lays down next to the door. Maybe my instructions followed by a treat will eventually work.

I love the bells, I love the application. My puppy is bell trained and is great about ringing the bells to go out. These bells he really has to nose hard to let us know and usually it's the sound of it hitting the door that I hear, not the jingle of the bells. They will be perfect once he's a little bigger and noses them a little harder.

So far, so good. We hung this up. Looks nice and sturdy. Comes in a sealed bag and with tips on getting your pet used to using the bell. Now to actually train kine to use it. (Our last pup used a bell, so we hope this one will too).

Bella are perfect. The sound is loud enough but not annoying like regular bells I had before. The white blends right in to my door!! Worth it!! Highly recommend

Purchased this after I read several of the reviews for my 9 month old Rottweiler that I had just adopted. I read and followed the directions and they worked perfectly as directed. My Rottie, AMMO, hits the Potty Bella like clockwork each and everything he needs to go outside. I have them hanging on the backdoor that I consistently take him out each and every time. Because consistency is key with training. Thank you Caldwell’s. I would recommend these!

If you are trying to get your furbabies to go out and do their business, these bells work great. They are loud enough to hear in any room. If you have a puppy, these are a must.

We had a bell on our door that was really for a bird cage. It broke so I ordered this one. She does not use it as much and I can’t hear it when she does.

Still in the early stages of use but these are great, really like the double set of bells that face the strap & not the door so it limits any scratching.

I wish I had started this when Sadie was just weeks old - not having great luck getting her to ring the bells but she does stand beside them. Great concept but my little gal is pretty stubborn.
